Description

Archontophoenix cunninghamiana

Bangalow Palms are native to Australia and are often used as indoor plants here down South. To grow into a very large tree they would probably require warmer climates than Melbourne, but as a small or medium size tree they look lovely anyway. Use Bangalow Palms as a clumped indoor plant or in a sheltered spot outdoors to add a tropical feel to the garden.

Pyrus calleryana 'Bradford'

The original ornamental pear from which all other ornamental pears were scioned. • Spring blossoms on bare branches • Vibrant autumnal colours of red, orange and purple • Ideal for rural properties or as a shade tree Bradford Pears are becoming superseded by newer varieties that are far less affected by strong winds and are more structural sound.
